US faces pressure to review to H-1B policy on fears of losing talented workers to Canada
A study has claimed that the US economy can reap significant benefits and attract more workers in the global competition if it starts expanding the current rules on work eligibility for the spouses of H-1B visa holders. Under the current circumstances the US might start losing talented foreigners, essentially those married to skilled workers to Canada if changes in policies are not made, it said. It typically takes 6-8 months for employment authorization to actually be granted after an application is submitted. The study author Madeline Zavodny suggested that allowing all spouses of H-1B visa holders to work would bring that visa in line with several other categories of skilled temporary worker visas. This already may be happening: “The number of Indians who became permanent residents in Canada increased by over 115% between 2016 and 2020 and 2021". Source - Mint
